Jackson 5 – When I Come Of Age lyrics

Where have I been?
What should I be looking for?
What am I gonna be?
When I Come Of Age?
Will I be strong, yeah yeah?
(Will I be strong?)
Will I be a mighty man?
(Mighty man?)
Climb mountains if I can
When I Come Of Age?

Hey y'all I think I'll be a movie star
Or travel to some distant star, yeah that's it
I'm gonna be an astronaut
And rock it to the moon
And then, I'll be the captain of a giant ship
I'm gonna take a long, long trip to far of land
When I become my man

And what about love?
(What about love?)
Do you still be in love with me?
I sure hope you will be
When I Come Of Age?
And will you be true?
(Will you be true?)
Will you still want to marry me?
I guess I have to wait and see
When I Come Of Age?

My folks say I'm too young for love
But they don't see to understand
That what I feel is love for somebody
A feeling I understand
And Why? I've got that feeling
It's you, girl you're so grand
And I'll love you just as strong
When I become my man

Wait, be patient honey
You've got to believe in me
Wait, wait for me baby
It'll be just you and me
(We're gonna be so happy)
We'll do, do all the things
We couldn't do before
When, When I Come Of Age?
(We're gonna be so happy)
When, When I Come Of Age, yeah?
When, When I Come Of Age, yeah?
(We're gonna be so happy)
Ooh, When, When I Come Of Age, yeah?
Oh, When, When I Come Of Age?
(We're gonna be so happy)
When, When I Come Of Age, yeah?
When, When I Come Of Age?
(We're gonna be so happy)
Oh, When, When I Come Of Age?
